AS a rule the men who come to
the front as leaders of labor organ
izations are not wise I; they are gen.
orally more orless on the blatherskite
order, their advancement being due
to their oily tongues and their
cleverness as agitators. Chief Ar.
thur, of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, is an exception
to the rule. lie is clear headed,
intelligent man, who knows how to
govern others, and is wise enough
TO understand what is best for the
order which he manages and con-
trolls. At the convention in Rich
mond, the other day, Chief Arthur
uttered one of his characteristic adj
dresses, from which we extract this
paragraph, and commend it to the
workingmen who are kept in "hot
water" all the time by their blather-
skite leaders "Capital has rights

to respect and while we claim the

just as soon as labor organizations
depart from the fundamental prin-
ciple set forth in the Christian re-
ligion, they pave the way to their
own destruction. If the Knights

organizations were favored with as

be, we would hear of fewer strikes,
and would observe greater prosper.

A TERRIBLE oEElcIAL.
A Chat with the Chief Execution,r of the
Chinese Empire.

n Chht with the Chicf Executionsr OF the
Chinese Empire.
Facing the potters' houses was a
high wall, at whose back and leaning
against it were some large crooks, all
which had their mouths earthed over
except one. Here our guide intro
duced us to three dressed Chinese
whom VIC noticed gambling at fam
tan table near the gate on our arrival.
One, big, brutish-looking fellow. with
n villainous cast in one Of his eyes, was
the head executioner; the other two,
who were smallish men, were his as
sistants. Through our guide we told
the head executioner that we wished to
see the instruments of his calling, and
thereon he produced short, very
heavy two-handed sword and long
knife. The following conversation
was carried on between us and this
"boss" through the medium of our
guide;
'How do you use this sword ?
Where is the block P" 1--WE don't uso
n block. What we do is to make tho
prisoners kneel down in two rows
facing one another, and bending their
heads down. Then l take the sword
and chop, chop, one on each side, and
tho heads fall Off; so on. till they're
all done, as you'd switch the tops of
green weeds with your walking-stick."
"But you don't always chop head
off with one blow P' Always"
"What is the knife for p' '.For the

this death to that cross there (pointing

ending by sticking the knife into tho
heart. The cuts vary in number from
eight to enc hundred and twenty, ac-
cording to tho Nervousness of the cul-
prit's crimes"
"What class of criminals are con.
demned to the ling chez" "Pafricides,
matricides and women who have killed
and multilated their hus sbands form the
majority"
''Do the executions interfere with
pourappetite and sleepp"
The three oxecudoners grinned sar-
donically at this question. so we asked.
"How many persons have you exc
cuted in day?' ~ have chopped
twenty heads olfmysclfin two minutes.
Sec that dark looking place on the
ground over there-that's caused by
the blood of the last batch we had"
"What is done with the bodies?"
"The friends take tho bodies away,
but we keep the heads in the crooks
over by the wall there, and when we
have large number which are no
longer identi(iable. we bury them.
